Wellbutrin XL - What times should I take them?

Doctor started me on wellbutyrin today it's only take one in the morning and one before I go to bed of 150 mg each I'm wondering if it's too much before I go to bed because now I'm restless and can't get to sleep for some reason my face feels very hot has anyone else experienced this and what should I do about the taking 150 Mg before bed and 150 mg in the morning

XL type Wellbutrin is usually taken only once a day. Where as the SR formula is taken twice a day. Taking that much at bedtime is going to cause insomnia. I take my Wellbutrin XL in the morning only, but I would discuss with the doctor before changing anything. Starting out at 300mgs a day is quite alot for beginner. May want to discuss starting with the 150mg once a day in the morning and work upto the 300mgs once a day in the morning. Just my experience. Please discuss with the prescribing doctor.

That's about exactly what I do. About 730 I start with 150mg and around 2:30 take the second 150. I'm believing that it helps with my music by making my fingers more alert and responsive. I play clarinet and have felt retarded (making mistakes in execution of notes) when I miss an afternoon dose.
